The future of former Flames captain, John Maduka, as South Africa\u2019s Bloemfontein Celtic assistant Coach lies in the hands of new Head Coach Steve Komphela.<\/p>\n
The former Kaizer Chiefs mentor, Komphela, has taken over the reins from Serbian mentor Veselin Jelusic, who recently resigned from the Absa Premiership outfit.<\/p>\n
Jelusic had Maduka and Lehlohonolo Seema as his assistants but, with reports that Komphela would prefer his own backroom staff, there is a cause for concern.<\/p>\n
Seema told Kickoff.com <\/em>that the two are unsure of what the future holds, following the appointment of Komphela who resigned as Chiefs boss in April after three trophyless seasons.<\/p>\n \u201cI do not know yet. They have not said anything to us, so I do not know. If it happens, it happens, you know in football. Yes, we are training, he [Komphela] has not started yet. But the team has not done anything … as you said, it is a rumour so I cannot even comment on what I have not even seen or heard of.<\/p>\n \u201cI do not have anything to say up until I hear it officially. We are still going to training, me and John are still coming to training because we have not heard anything, so I do not know,\u201d Seema is quoted as saying.<\/p>\n It also remains to be seen if Komphela will retain the services of on-and-off Flames striker Atusaye Nyondo, who has struggled for game-time.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" BY RONALD MPASO: The future of former Flames captain, John Maduka, as South Africa\u2019s Bloemfontein Celtic assistant Coach lies in the hands of new Head Coach Steve Komphela.
